Evil will not deceive you

Just as Li Ke watched with high spirits as his team of migrant workers began to fill everything in the city, a group of angry people also roared out in an open and aboveboard place.

"How dare he! How dare he!"

The angry noble threw the file in his hand onto the table, making a dull but insignificant sound. These are all messages sent back by spies from different families. Without exception, they are all about Li Ke's treatment of the workers and what Li Ke said in front of his mansion.

Those words directed at nobles like them made them extremely angry and unwilling. In their opinion, people who should be on the same side as them are now treating them like this!

How could these nobles not see what Varian could see? They really thought that Li Ke was just a guy Tenaris came to test, so they planned to throw out some abandoned children to see Li Ke's reaction.

As long as Li Ke shows some tough tactics and doesn't pursue the people behind the abandonment, they will immediately appear to help Li Ke build the Western Wilderness.

But looking at it now, Li Ke trusts Fan Cleef more than they trust loyal and righteous people!

simply! It's simply intolerable!

"Why did Tenaris send such a person here?"

A nobleman held a pipe in his mouth, smoking expensive tobacco, and looked dissatisfied at the letters laid out on the map.

"A holy knight chosen by God would do the same thing if he were me."

Another younger noble sneered.

"The Holy Light has reached the level he has reached. Will anyone still doubt his piety?"

They don't look down on the less powerful Holy Light users, but a Paladin like Li Ke can temporarily turn a place into a holy land...

To be honest, if you tell them that Li Ke is not a person of high moral character, they themselves won't believe it.

After all, those who have been forcibly infused with the Holy Light have become gentler and more righteous in their behavior, and as a person's moral level decreases, the level of the Holy Light will also decrease.

Therefore, although they all look down on those low-level Holy Light users and think they are just hypocrites, they still have some respect for those Holy Light users who can truly perform miracles.

It's just that most of these Holy Light users care about their own moral character and ethics, so they can easily take advantage of it. There is almost no one like Li Ke who actually controls a large territory and is also a paladin who can summon miracles.

The most important thing is that his mind is still very flexible, unlike other paladins who adhere to dogma and rules.

But here comes the problem. From the perspective of ordinary people, his words and deeds are undoubtedly that of a saint.

This kind of rival ‘ally’…

It’s really hard to stomach it.

"The methods we use to deal with other paladins may not work against him."

The young nobleman sighed.

Ordinary Paladins can easily deal with some moral traps, but this kind of miraculous Paladin...

He really doubted that the other party could really pull up a dead person. After all, this was not something without precedent.

"Then do we need to contact the Silver Hand?"

Another noble spoke.

"There is no need for them now. They have no position to help us. Moreover, most of the Silver Hands are from Lordaeron, and Uther is a standard paladin. When facing Li Ke, they may There is a dispute, but considering Li Ke’s attitude towards civilians, although he may complain a little, he will definitely not help us.”

The old nobleman sighed.

Uther is quite reliable as a comrade, but as a leader, he is too rigid. As long as it is not in line with the teachings and laws of the Holy Light, he will fight against you, and this is such a hard thing. He is also very good at fighting and very loyal.

Let's put it this way, if you violate morals in front of Uther, he will not care about your status at all and will directly start reprimanding and teaching you. And if you are his subordinate, this guy will still be like this.

Let's put it this way, Uther has never used any of the public funds of the Knights of the Silver Hand. He has never accepted a bribe or anything, and is a typical example of doing things according to the rules.

Just this thing is enough to make people despair.

"Damn it, can we just watch him be arrogant?"

The old noble hammered angrily. He seemed more excited than the young nobles, but this was not because of his temper, but because in this action, his family suffered the heaviest loss!

"And there is another question, how much food is there in the Western Wilderness? Our spies did not give us a clear report. The paladin's subordinates are very strange, especially the tax collectors. They are incredibly clean."

The young noble glanced at Li Ke's territory, and then sighed.

"And he only charges 30% tax. How on earth does he support such a large team?"

Rubbing a black chip, the young nobleman was very confused. He was really curious, where did Li Ke get the money? The salary of six gold coins for a laborer that allowed him to spend so much, as well as double vacations, nine to five, and even medical care and food Stay.

He has not yet launched the corvee.

The monthly salary alone costs 20,000 gold coins. It can burn down a castle in two months, but where does he get so much money?

Moreover, those skilled laborers and strict tax collectors are like a prince forming his own team...

prince?

The young noble's eyes widened instantly. He looked at the map in astonishment and quickly searched for Li Ke's experience in Li Ke's files. Then, he saw a resume that sent shivers down his spine:

He suddenly appeared in the home of a die-hard supporter of Tenaris, became a knight as his nephew, and completed a marriage that was not a marriage to the lord's illegitimate daughter.

Then the lord's family suddenly died of their son before Prince Arthas arrived. When Princess Jaina came, the orcs made trouble.

Then Prince Alsace stayed strangely for a while, then quickly led his troops to the territory and took over everything.

After meeting again, Arthas chose to support the undead without any brains, and there were unclear rumors about Li Ke and the future queen Jaina. Li Ke also showed unprecedented power of the Holy Light and directly led Take the whole family to fly away.

At this time, Tenaris suddenly ordered Sir Prestor to hand over their territory in Stormwind City, and even brought his daughter over.

Then this gentleman named Li Ke successfully took over the territory as a civilian, and the real lord was like a vase.

The elves and people from Kul Tiras also ran over.

Countless tax collectors who are not corrupt and bend the law, the sudden appearance of smart and capable technical workers and powerful, unexplainable financial resources, Tenaris' ambiguous attitude...

"This guy is definitely the illegitimate son of Tenaris!"
